<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathing lift apparatus which achieves size reduction while securing a sufficient stroke for a lifting table on which a bathing person sits. <P>SOLUTION: The bathing lift apparatus comprises a seat 8 on which a bathing person sits, the lifting table 7 on which the seat 8 is installed, lifting rails 4 for guiding the ascent and descent of the lifting table 7, a movable base 1 on which the lifting rails 4 are installed, a transfer rail 9 for guiding the movement of the movable base 1, an arm 2a which swings with respect to the movable base 1 and on which at least a suspended load of the bathing person sitting on the seat 8 is applied, a force generating mechanism 2 installed on the movable base 1 for generating a force to cancel out the suspended load in response to the suspended load applied on the arm 2a, a stroke increasing mechanism 6 arranged between the movable base 1 and the lifting table 7 via the arm 2a for increasing a stroke in the vertical direction of the lifting table 7 with respect to a stroke in the vertical direction of the arm 2a, and an operation mechanism 3 connected to the force generating mechanism 2 for driving the stroke increasing mechanism 6 using the force generated by the force generating mechanism 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
